What's everyones favourite stones cover? I would say mine has to be Sticky Fingers - one of the all time best covers -however Some Girls and Exile are also very cool.

Their album art is divided between really incredible (like the ones you mentioned - with artists of the calibre of Andy Warhol and Robert Frank involved - or lousy, like Steel Wheels.
I think my own personal favorite is Between The Buttons. They just look SO wasted - effete and dangerous simultaneously, like a Clockwork Orange gang out for a bit of the old ultra-violence after a visit to the Moloko bar.
When I was a kid I used to just stare at that picture (it was actually the picture sleeve of Ruby Tuesday/LSTNT, but same picture).
Another fave is No Stone Unturned, for the same reasons. |

most of the recent ones have been pretty unininspiring
I like the mug shot ones....Black & Blue I always liked, especially Charlie's expression - he looks like a really nasty piece of work in that one!
I still think the whole "Some Girls" sleeve concept is hard to beat (the band profiles inside are a riot too..)
Also love "get yer ya-ya's out" - not least because,as a Dylan fan, the sleeve has a lyrical nod to a line from my favourite Dylan song ever, "Visions Of johanna" (ie "jewels and bincoulars hang from the head of the mule"..) |

Maybe people don't care as much about cover art as they did when vinyl was still around. Bigger is better ... maybe???
I was rummaging around my old man's cluttered garage a month or so back and ran into my old IORR vinyl cover, ..no record inside. Anyway I left it there. Maybe I should've grabbed it???????!!??? |
